Hi, I'm implementing Elastalert on CentOS 7 and I have some problems. I'm trying to test the rules with this command: elastalert-test-rule --config config.yaml example\_rules/example\_frequency.yaml but I have a mistake:

> Traceback (most recent call last):  
> File "/usr/bin/elastalert-test-rule", line 11, in   
> load\_entry\_point('elastalert==0.2.1', 'console\_scripts', 'elastalert-test-rule')()  
> File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg\_resources/ **init**.py", line 489, in load\_entry\_point

> File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/elastalert-0.2.1-py2.7.egg/elastalert/test\_rule.py", line 61  
> print('Invalid filter provided:', str(ea), file=sys.stderr)

I tried to install Python3 but I have a different error telling me that a package is missing and commands like pip no longer work. Does anyone know how to properly install Python3 on CentOS or does anyone know a solution to my problem?

Thank you ! 🙂

I would recommend you contact the Elastalert project or community as they may be in a better place to help you.
